The settlement of Addingham has few viable commercial properties, and very few organised leisure facilities for the general public. Also especially on Main Street, there is little parking provision for residents and visitors alike.

The village’s local primary school is well-regarded and serves the current population well, but could only be expanded with a significant investment in capacity, none of which is even planned. The village primary school is currently at capacity, which means that any new families would be educated elsewhere. With regards to secondary schools, Ilkley Grammar is already overloaded. Therefore any additional housing will put further and unwarranted pressure on all primary and secondary education facilities throughout the Wharfdale area.
